if i made a post about what i will miss...there would be tears shed and I'm in no mood for tears...

Well, as many of you know, I am headed back to the Land of the Long White Cloud on Tuesday.

Time moves too fast! I can't believe how soon that is.

Here is a couple things worth mentioning that I am most excited about...

My YWAM friends, I have to call them that because while I am stoked to see them and live life together, I am also leaving the ones that were with me through a lot of crazy in college and which became my best friends (and to be cliche, yet true) forever. I am now missing two weddings that I would have had the great privilege to be a part of. I just looked up the definition of apart (to make sure it was apart or a part in the last sentence and found this as the example of apart in a sentence: countries as far apart as New Zealand and the U.S.). That officially shows how far it is, in case there was any doubt.

The YWAM community. Sharing, cleaning, unity, worshipping and praying together, playing, climbing, talking, coffee. So many things make the community worth every penny I put forth to this and every penny friends and family do as well. The people we meet are struck by our family. Just our small outreach team amazed people on the miracle of us all getting along and having a blast together.

New Zealand's indescribable beauty.

The little things too (in no particular order), such as, rock climbing, Orange Franks (a soda), Tim Tams (cookies), always having another person to hangout with and enjoy things you do, fish and chips, walking to the grocery store, sheep, not seeing trash anywhere, Christchurch, Seagar's hot chocolate, believe me there many more than just these...

Thanks for supporting me, whoever is reading this. Your prayers and even thoughts of this journey means so much.

Signing off until I am in New Zealand next week.
